DLC Character Submission:
Miriam (Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night/Curse of the Moon)
The main protagonist of the Bloodstained series (basically, a lawyer-friendly Castlevania series like how Yooka-Laylee is a lawyer-friendly Banjo-Kazooie series), Miriam is a young woman who was experimented on in order to place demonic crystals into her skin. Being able to absorb the power of demons through crystal shards, Miriam seeks out her old friend Gebel, who has been driven mad by this demonic power, in order to reverse this curse.
As a Metroidvania character, Miriam has a ton of abilities and weapons to choose from, ranging from swords, whips, guns, and kicking attacks to summoning monsters, using elemental magic, throwing enchanted goblets of wine onto the ground, or bouncing around the room like a pinball.
Stage:
Livre Ex Machina
A mix of a library and a clock tower, Livre Ex Machina seems like it could have a lot of possibilities as a stage. New parts, whether they're stable platforms, moving platforms, bookshelves, or whirling gears, could be brought in and out to mix things up, with a large central platform serving as a constant base to work with. It would be chaotic, but that's the point.
Various Bloodstained characters could make cameos in the background, like
Orlok Dracule or O.D., a vampire who inhabits this area. He looks and sounds very familiar... Other cameos could include
Zangetsu or
Alfred, and while he's not in Ritual Of The Night, I'd like to include
Hachi as a background cameo as well, because he's adorable.
